- This is the first volume to cover science fiction right up to
the present day and includes a substantial last chapter on the
rejuvenation of science fiction in the 1990s.
- Written specifically for students and non-specialists, in an
accessible style throughout.
- Has an extraordinarily broad and comprehensive coverage, giving
equal weight to both American and English SF, whereas other studies
have been weighted to one or to the other.
- Employs an interdisciplinary approach, mixing literature with
the history of science, political and economic history and cultural
theory. There is a real thirst for such material amongst students
and lecturers in this area.
- Science Fiction is not only a popular undergraduate course, but fans of SF are renowned for buying this type of study too.
